Just re-reading the @IndependentSage school recommendations. It says that "A Young Minds report found that 87% of school pupils said that they were lonely during the first lockdown, and that 69% of those back at school said their mental health was poor. Yet 40% said their school had no counsellor to talk to and only 27% said they had any conversation with a staff member about their well-being. 23% said there was less mental health support at their school compared to before the pandemic, only 9% said there was more."
